In order to recognize talented young designers, the Furniture Design Department at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) along with the prestigious furniture design showroom 24e, has created the first Furniture Design Awards. This inaugural event will honor great student designs and will be held in the most influential showroom in the city.

The event will be held Friday, March 5th from 7:00 – 9:00 pm at 24e, located at 24e Broughton Street.

Student projects will be initially selected by SCAD faculty and those pieces will then be judged by industry professionals, creative city officials, and members of the press based on criteria of originality and creativity. The three selected student designs will be announced the night of the party and the students will be honored in a special ceremony where they will be presented with an award.

This event will also give the designers – and everyone in attendance – the opportunity to visit the new 24e Design Center which will feature a multitude of fabrics, 24e’s in house Interior Designer, Christian Dunbar, and enhanced ordering for clients through their design showroom.

Additionally, 24e will contribute 10% of everything sold during the event to SCAD’s Furniture Design Department for scholarships and student activities.

Please join us for what promises to be not only a unique experience but also a fun time for all.

(This event is free and open to the public.)
